About Company:
Melissa Emery's mission in opening Emery Law Office was to grow a relationship-focused law practice. We provide quality, compassionate legal services and treat clients like real people. We build relationships within the community, support locally-owned businesses, and encourage a personable work environment.

Melissa was a single mom of 4 when she started her legal career, so she values putting family first. There's a lot more to life than the 9-5 - our families, friends, and hobbies are valuable and necessary. We're flexible and understanding about family emergencies and actively promote a healthy work-life balance.

We prefer authentic over uptight and stuffy. We care about clients and each other. We love what we do and we love to celebrate - whether it's a milestone, a birthday, or just another doughnut day. Check out our video at emerylawoffice.com for more.

We look forward to meeting you!
